Description

A really fine specimen from a small discovery at Ghwai mine. Faces and edges are stpped, all steps are sharp. The color is light blue-grey with more intense, darker phantoms. The main crystal is 71mm on edges! When I used artificial light the color switced to warm, nearly yellow tones. The specimen shows good translucency, so only minor backlit is enough to show internal color, phantoms and lighter centers. In good condition damage-wise, backside was on the rock.
